Pauline Harris is a scientists from Rongomaiwahine

and Ngāti Kahungunu descent.

She heard from the communities around the world about climate change and wondered if Maori communities are aware of similar changes here in Aotearoa.  

So she’s working together with other scientists to visit the hapu throughout the country. The matauranga held by the communities extends back hundreds of years. It could reveal how our animals and plants were in the past.
